2017 CrossFit Games Demo Team Revealed

In years past the demo team has been generally been made up of big name CrossFit Games veterans who happened to miss the Games that particular year. This year Dave Castro has taken a slightly different approach.

While the demo team does consist of mostly Games veterans, there are a few non-Games athletes who will be assisting Castro in fine tuning the events we will see on the big stage in Madison.

The demo team roster is interesting for couple reasons. First, the addition of Alderman and Scudds is a departure of the team being all former Games athletes. Both are, however, friends of CrossFit HQ staff and Scudds was highlighted in a CrossFit video segment earlier this season.

The second interesting thing about the roster is that the women are not particularly strength-biased. All four athletes are well-rounded, but are not known for their absolute strength. Given the programming of the Open and Regionals, could this mean we will see more overall fitness events and less absolute strength requirements?
